Down To Earth

Earth Day Spokane is this Saturday!














































Earth Day Spokane returns to Main Ave. in Downtown Spokane this Saturday! Enjoy a full day of amazing local music, street performers, spoken word, short community leader speeches, great local food, children’s activities, bountiful opportunities to learn about environmental organizations in the area and the always popular Procession of the Species parade led by Michael Moon Bear.

From Earth Day Spokane: This is a FREE event and family focused, so plan to spend your Saturday celebrating Mother Earth with the whole family. This year’s event strives to honor the legacy of past Earth Day events, while taking very seriously the need for a radical shift to self-responsibility to help solve some of our planet’s main concerns.

While street parking is available, with Saturday meter rates applying, all attendees are encouraged to commute via mass transit or alternative transportation. Earth Day Spokane will feature ample bicycle parking, and bus routes and information can be found at www.spokanetransit.com.

Earth Day Spokane is striving this year to be a near zero-waste event, with plenty of volunteers on hand to assist in recycling and composting collection. Come for the fun atmosphere, come for the entertainment and food, come for the education and outreach; but no matter what, be there for the Earth.
